El Teatro Campesino Presents 'The Folk Connection' on March 20

The Folk Collection could just as well be named "Your Favorite Songs of the 60s Folk Era" group. Tony Unger, Ed Labowitz and Mike Sirota, along with bass man Bob Packham, grew up in the 1960's, when they fell in love with the story songs and 3-part harmonies of that acoustic era. Ed and Tony have been a duo on and off since their days at Hollywood High School. Mike joined the group in 2003 and Bob in early 2005.

Much of their repertoire is familiar to audiences of all ages. With songs like "This Land is Your Land," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Where Have all the Flowers Gone?," John Denver tunes, original compositions, and a medley of the great TV Western theme songs of the 50s (like "Rawhide" and "Bonanza"), The Folk Collection is reminiscent of such groups as The Kingston Trio, The Limeliters, The New Christy Minstrels, and The Brothers Four. But they have their own unique blend, sound - and humor.

These guys grew up loving folk music, and the turnouts at their shows confirms that there are many baby boomers, as well as older and younger folks, who really like listening to words and harmonies - and joining in when the mood and song fit. Their show is centered around folk music and good clean jokes. They are family friendly and their audiences are multi-generational -- from children, to parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. Their show is a fun evening that should not be missed. You will leave singing, toe-tapping, and smiling.
